Who's on first! What a lovely bit of comedy. I've always dug that bit of hilarity. It's almost as great as basically any Monty Python sketch! :D

Long ago, before trolls became angry and went to live under the bridge, they used to spread unprovoked messages of love and kindness across the internet. #happytrolling

But, what about loneliness? Soul crushing loneliness... The kind of void that social things with friends just can't fill.

Never forget there is a difference between being alone and being lonely. In my time as a single dude I had to figure out what I enjoyed to do alone because it made the times when I felt lonely fewer and easier to deal with. I tried new things. I said yes to stuff I thought might even be remotely fun. I forced myself to go to the movies by myself and cafes by myself because I enjoyed those things and if people thought I was sad, they're the arsehole, not me. I learned that the only way to accept yourself is to recognise your flaws and work on improving them every day. To remind yourself of all of your good qualities and allow yourself to believe them! No one is going to laugh at you or punish you for knowing where your strengths are! And, again, if they do they are the arseholes. So that's how I learned to be happy by myself and with myself. And eventually I was lucky enough to find someone who saw me trying and believed in me, but even if I hadn't I would still be living my life being as much of the good parts of me as I could be.

Thanks so much for putting this together. My nephew has struggled with depression and anger even with counseling, and is now in a juvenile facility after an assault. The good news is this seems to have woken him up to realizing that he needs to take steps in his life with the support of his family. Number five will be an especially good message for him, and I'm glad you put that into words so well.

Even on those days that you don't feel loved, remember, there are tens of trillions of tiny, automated organisms working unconditionally inside of you, for you, but which is YOU! Don't ever forget how amazing you really are.

Thanks, I have a personality disorder and this leaves me with a lot of personal struggles especially internal ones. I've bookmarked this for those times that I am feeling low, and need to remind myself it's okay to cry and that my feelings and myself are valid. Keep up the good fight!

+ You're pretty damn spectacular.
5 & 6 are wonderful copy and pastes (into my iPhone notes) or for anyone to save as boilerplate starting points. When we see suffering, often people don't know where to start so we inadvertently choose inaction.
Keep on being a kickass individual.

I hope you don't mind I stole your cynical post, there are days that it's hard for me. The post really hit me when I read it, I read the rest and listened to the music as well, but the cynical part really hit me.

Thank you for this. #4 is especially hitting close to home for me right now. I'm struggling with letting go of some wrongs and forgiving that person, and this is exactly the perspective I needed.
